The apartment was exactly a described, very comfortable bed and nicely equipped kitchen for simple meals. The town was amazing! It was like going back in time, the apartment was half way from the upper and lower squares. Make sure you have your hiking shoes, lots of walking up and down the beautiful cobbled streets. I'd definitely stay here again, make sure you take some time to tour the castle and wine cellar!!

Arqua Petrarcha odds a beautiful town on a hill. It is set in most of beautiful trees and farms. Conveniently located. Arrigo is a great host and speaks very good English. Don't miss the smaller towns nearby: Este and Montagnana.

The apartment was perfect and had everything our family of three desired! Arrigo was an amazing host that helped us customize our stay - hikes in the Eugean Hills, non-touristy and special trip to Venice, & a visit to a Bernini garden nearby complete with a labyrinth. It was a memorable trip and there is so much more to do in the area. Thank you Arrigo. We appreciate everything you did for us!

The apartment is simple, somewhat 'old-fashioned', but charming and extremely clean. There is a lovely garden and the views over the countryside are wonderful. There are some major cultural centres (Venice, Padua, Verona, Vicenza ) all within an hour of Arqua Petrarcha and some lovely towns close by such as Montagnana, Este, Monselice, but it was great to come back to Arqua after a day's busy sightseeing. Arrigo, our host, was extremely helpful and well-informed and advised us on travelling around the region and historical aspects. Highly recommended and we can't wait to go back.
